Research Interests
I am a social psychologist who studies how morality and religion shape prejudice, cooperation, and relationships between groups. My research examines when deeply held beliefs foster compassion and prosocial behavior – and when they contribute to bias, exclusion, or conflict. I am a co-leader of the Open Science of Religion Project, an international effort promoting rigorous, transparent research in the psychology of religion, and co-lead the Maine chapter of the Scholars Strategy Network, which helps researchers share evidence with the public and policymakers to support effective, evidence-based policy. My work aims to better understand how beliefs influence social life and how research can help build more inclusive communities.
